DIRECT TV UP AND RUNNING, COLONIALS AT DINWIDDIE

Well the Direct TV is up and running now and picture looks pretty so far, the only problem I have now is that I don't what channel everything is on. I have posted a few photos of what they did here at the house yesterday, it looks pretty good from the outside now. They are suppose to finish everything up on the inside early next week. The Colonial Heights Colonials have a very tough task tonight when they travel down to Dinwiddie top play the Generals and there high powered offense. Down in Georgia Crawford County will travel to Heard County, the Eagles will be trying to get back on there winning ways. I have posted some other games of interest below. In MLB playoffs both Arizona & Colorado both have 2-0 leads in there NL series while the Yankees got drubbed by Cleveland last nigh and trial that series 1-0. The Nascar Nextel Cup Series is at Talladega this weekend while the NHRA visits Dinwiddie, VA at the Virginia Motor Sports Park. I am sure glad that it is Friday, I have been beaten and battered this week and I am very sore. I am still having to run outside because we don't have any power in the shed yet. MICKEY

Getting a Flu Vaccine
An annual flu vaccine can help protect you from the nasty effects of the flu virus.

Here's some background information about the flu vaccine, courtesy of the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention:

* The injected vaccination contains a killed virus. It is approved for people over the age of 6 months.
* The nasal form of the vaccine is made with a weakened virus, and is approved for people ages 2-49 years. It's not recommended for pregnant women.
* Approximately two weeks after the vaccination, your body develops the antibodies needed to protect itself from specific strains of the flu virus.
* Flu season generally runs from October through May. The best months to be vaccinated are October and November, but you can still be vaccinated later.
* You cannot get the flu from a flu shot, but minor side effects may include swelling, low-grade fever, and aches and pains.
* Similarly, you cannot develop full-blown flu from the nasal spray vaccine, but minor side effects may include runny nose, headache, and sore throat.
